First of all let me begin by saying that my thoughts and prayers are with Jorge's family. During my time at El Monte High School, I met Jorge when we both played for the school's Varsity Soccer team. The memory of his life will forever live on in my heart, for he lost his life fighting for our freedom. Even though this was not his fight, he made the greatest sacrifice one could make, just so that my son as well as future generations wouldn't have to live in a world full of terrorism and violence. Jorge hs made a great impact on my life in the short time I knew and I am sure he has made everyone in his family very proud. My prayers go out to his family and his brother Mario. Mario, keep your head up!

Again, after all these years I still and for ever recall you friend. I as others remember you .Now in March 23 2015, I have given and dedicate my 10 yrs service to the Corps to you. You know I like the LA galaxy because of you, and I'm sorry for keeping you red hot chilly peppers Cd you once let me barrow . To whom ever posted liberal views on Government in his dedicated page shame on you. He was an America ,Husband , and fought for what we In 1/2 consider the tip of the sphere of that war. We fought for each other , our brothers, not for your twisted anti war opinion. Warriors have fallen since the beginning of the world, but you my friend will be remember by me for ever .In dedication of this our anniversary I will have your image tatted on my arm . God bless America !!!
